"Trust SureView to meet all of your home inspection needs" |
Congratulations! By visiting our web site you are now on the path to making a more informed buying
decision. At SureView Inspection Services Ltd., it is our mission to help guide you on that path by
providing you with a professional, and thorough home inspection.
Purchasing a home can be a stressful endeavor; a home inspection need not be. SureView is dedicated
to providing you with the peace of mind you deserve when purchasing your next home.
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a visual, unbiased, overview of the readily accessible systems
and components of a home. At SureView, our goal is to provide you with a complete,
detailed, easy to understand home inspection. The inspection will provide you with
the crucial information you require in making a more informed buying decision and
can help reduce your risk of unforeseen additional cost and repairs.
As the saying goes "you can't judge a book by its cover". The same applies
when purchasing a home. Without a home inspection, you are only getting part of the story.
The purchase of a home is probably the largest financial investment most people will
ever make. You deserve to know as much as possible about your potential purchase.
A home inspection by SureView will provide you with that knowledge.
Who is a home inspector?
Currently home inspection in Canada is a non-regulated profession.
This means that anyone can claim to be a home inspector. In order for you to
ensure you are hiring an inspector with appropriate credentials and experience,
you should only consider using inspection firms, such as SureView
Inspection Services Ltd. whose inspectors are members of The
Ontario Association of Home Inspectors (OAHI) and The
Canadian Association of Home & Property Inspectors (CAHPI).
This will help ensure that the inspector is experienced, impartial, and
ethical.
By hiring SureView to perform your inspection, you will also
have peace of mind knowing that your inspector is a Registered
Home Inspector (RHI). The
RHI designation
is currently the highest status achievable by home
inspectors in Canada and is held by fewer than 250 practicing home
inspectors province wide. Don't be
fooled by inspectors calling themselves Certified, Professional or Qualified. These terms are
meaningless as anyone can use them regardless of his or her true education or qualifications.
RHI and the title Registered Home Inspector are protected by Ontario Government legislation and can
only be used and granted to members of OAHI and CAHPI-Ontario who have achieved the
highest level of education and experience as required by OAHI.
Who needs a home inspection?
Whether you are purchasing, selling or just want to learn more about your home's current
condition, you can benefit greatly from having a home inspection.
When selling your home, a pre-listing inspection can help identify existing
deficiencies before putting your home up for sale. As the homeowner, you now have
the option of performing the necessary repairs before listing your home. In this way,
you can eliminate the possibility of these conditions being used by the buyer to
negotiate a lower selling price.
When purchasing your home, a home inspection can help identify existing deficiencies,
which you may not otherwise have been aware of. The inspection will not only help
deliver peace of mind, it also serves to reduce your risk of unexpected surprises
and added expense after purchasing the home.
How much does a home inspection cost?
You will find SureView's inspection fees amongst the most affordable in the
industry. Fees start as low as $125 for single item inspections, $200 for high rise
condominiums and $325 for most homes up to 3000 sq. ft. (GST extra)*
How long does the inspection take?
On average a full inspection takes between 2 and 3 hours depending on the condition,
age and size of the home.
What does the inspection report include?
All inspections include a 9-page detailed report noting the condition of the home's major
systems and components (roof, exterior, structure, interior, electrical, heating, cooling,
plumbing, and insulation), as well as maintenance and improvement recommendations.
All inspections are performed in accordance with the OAHI (Ontario Association of Home
Inspectors) Standards of Practice. These standards will be provided to you as part of the
comprehensive report package.
Under most circumstances, the inspection report is completed on site at the completion of the
inspection and given to you at that time.
